Ivysaur: Rarity & Collectibility
Ivysaur is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #044/130 of the Base Set 2 set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Ivysaur?
In 2026, a Near Mint Ivysaur (Uncommon, Base Set 2 #044/130) changes hands at roughly $4.34, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $4.34, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $0.57. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $4.34, Lightly Played $1.97, Moderately Played $1.57, Heavily Played $0.89, Damaged $0.57 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Ivysaur is valued near $75.00 — about 17x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Ivysaur: Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Ivysaur sits around $75.00 — roughly 17x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $30.00, CGC 10 $59.99, CGC 9.5 $14.99 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
